Introducing FCN Tales

Here at FCN, we zealously hold to our anonymity. It's not that we take pride in it. But we find it very comforting. Theoretically, if you find a post to be incredibly foolish or distasteful, you can blame any one of us because the statistical odds are that it was someone else. I was the last contributor to sign on to FCN. Sometimes I suspect the only justification for my existence is to pad the roster for blame-passing.

Anyway, it's become an unofficial sport amongst some FCN reader circles to guess at the identity of the writer. We were a bit surprised when we learned of this sport. We always thought it was tediously obvious who wrote what because our styles are so different. But apparently the waters are murky, and we're giving our nod to nerdy recreation by offering the following FCN manual in three installments.

For the next three days, you'll be treated to the same familiar fairy tale as told by each of the three FCN contributors. You'll get a chance to see each's unique style held in a side-by-side comparison, so theoretically you'll never have to wonder who wrote a post again. I, the F of the family, have consented to go first. Tune in tomorrow, when the instruction begins in earnest.
